Spirulina: What Exactly Is It, and Why Is It Said to Be "Perhaps the World's Healthiest Food"?

Do you want an easy way to eat some of your recommended 4 to 9 servings of vegetables every day? Are you trying to protect yourself from the stress, pollutants, toxins and chemicals of our world?

Then you need to know about spirulina, perhaps the world's healthiest food!

The Oldest, Most Nutritious Food

Did you know that one of the world's healthiest foods grows in lakes? You might call it algae, but the aquatic plant spirulina packs a powerful nutritional punch.

Spirulina is a deep green aquatic plant and a nutritious dietary supplement. It grows in water with a high pH (alkaline) and after it has been harvested, you can buy spirulina in tablet, flake, powder and liquid forms.

The Aztecs used it as a food source in 16th century Mexico, and the people of the Kanem empire ate it over a thousand years ago in ancient Chad.

These days, NASA plans to make spirulina one of the first plants cultivated in space.

Spirulina is one of the world's oldest foods, but it is now considered cutting-edge nutrition!

Spirulina: A Complete Food

Spirulina is so special because it contains an unusually high amount of complete protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Specifically, spirulina is packed with all these vital nutrients that can protect you from illness and disease:1

Beta-carotene. Spirulina has 10 times the beta-carotene of carrots.

Complete protein. Spirulina is between 55 and 77% protein and contains all nine essential amino acids.

Essential Fatty Acids. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA), one of the rarest essential fatty acids, is found in spirulina.

Vitamins. B vitamins, vitamin C and E are all present in spirulina.

Minerals. Spirulina is a rich source of potassium, as well as calcium, chromium, copper, iron and magnesium.

Benefits of Super Spirulina Plus
Spirulina, the primary source of protein in Super Spirulina Plus, is an ancient super food. It is 60-70% protein by weight, a complete protein source, and rich in vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, & other nutrients. However, spirulina is difficult to digest and assimilate in its raw form, so this amazing powdered supplement is the optimal way to be sure you are getting all of the health benefits it contains!

Extensive research has shown it to be a truly remarkable food source, with its phenomenally high protein content and rich reserves of many vital nutrients, including vitamin B12 (essential for vegetarians). Spirulina also contains a formidable array of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements together with rare, unsaturated fats including gamma- linolenic acid.

Many of the densely concentrated nutrients in Spirulina help protect our bodies from stress and toxins. Scientific studies on animals and humans have shown that spirulina supports immune function, T-cell proliferation and antibody production. These studies have also shown that spirulina has anti-inflammatory properties, and helps deactivate the toxins in food.

Spirulina is known to contain phytonutrients with strong antioxidant properties which support cellular health by protecting the cell membranes and DNA from damage by reactive oxygen radicals. Many of the health benefits can be obtained from eating large amounts of certain fruits and vegetables. However, spirulina has all of these properties rolled into one.

Chick Peas: a great source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. In addition, their high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as rice, chick peas provide virtually fat-free, high quality protein.

Biodynamic Rice: contains high levels of insoluble fiber and contributes B vitamins — folic acid and pyridoxine — iron and potassium. Rice also contains the B vitamin thiamine, which is present in the brain. An excellent source of complex carbohydrates.

Flax Seed: is high in essential fatty acids and is a healing mucilage. Flax seed can be good for the bowel system, soothe cramps and heal inflammation. It provides Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils.

Alfalfa Seeds: a good source of Vitamins B1, B2, niacin, calcium, iron and is an excellent source of protein. Alfalfa seed has a percentage protein by weight of 35% as opposed to lean beef, which has 28% protein by weight.

Millet: is the richest in protein of all the grains. It is also rich in sillica, which is also good for hair, nails and skin. Of all the cereals, millet contains the highest level of iron. Millet also contains magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and other minerals, along with vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and small amounts of C.

Quinoa: has an almost perfect amino acid composition, a high content of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron & a low sodium content.
